When you are logged in as Admin it is impossible to tell at a glance if a person is flagged as '''living''' or '''private''' without going into the Edit tab. It is important because all those who should be flagged but are not, may have vital information revealed to unauthorized visitors. This mod affects TNG pages by setting the names of everyone flagged as living or private to the colors of your choice. You can also determine who will be allowed to see highlighting for living or private persons. By default it is Admin only, but you can set it to be visible to any logged in user to whom you have given permissions.

Living Color Mod

Summary

Displays names of living persons in selected color on personal and family group sheets.

Introduction

When you are logged in as Admin it is impossible to tell at a glance if a person is flagged as living or private without going into the Edit tab. It is important because all those who should be flagged but are not, may have vital information revealed to unauthorized visitors. This mod affects TNG pages by setting the names of everyone flagged as living or private to the colors of your choice. You can also determine who will be allowed to see highlighting for living or private persons. By default it is Admin only, but you can set it to be visible to any logged in user to whom you have given permissions.

CAUTION: TNG families also have a 'living' flag which serves to limit information shown to the public about marriages. Living Color on family group sheets or in family search lists only reflects the status of a person's 'living' flag and says nothing about the state of family/marriage 'living' flags.

Conflicts With Other Mods

At the moment there are no known conflicts with other TNG mods. It should be noted however, that if you are using the Wiki Integration mod, you must install it before installing Living Color.

Visualizations

User's Page View

This is how part of a page might appear with Admin or View living and View private persons privileges. Bear in mind, the highlight colors simply show that the living flag (red) or private flag (blue) is set.

The example above is shown with the Child Descendant Indicator Mod by Chuck Filteau that replaces the greater-than symbol (>) with the more traditional plus sign (+) to indicate that a person has children.

Note that if your are using the Event Map add children mod the child's name in the Google Map Events table will also be highlighted.

Mod Manager

After the Living Color Mod is successfully installed, one of the items listed in the Mod Manager will look something like this.

To change the program parameters, click on Edit Options.

Mod Manager Editor

The Mod Manager editor presents four program parameters for editing. The first two set the highlight color and viewing privileges for Private persons, while the next two do the same for Living persons. Highlight colors can be expressed as a hex color code (e.g., #000080) or as a color constant (e.g., blue). In either case, do not surround the parameter with quotes. If you don't care why data is being restricted, you can set both living and private highlight colors to the same value. After setting parameter values, click on Confirm Edit to save your preferences. If you click on Restore default parameter values, the defaults in parentheses will be restored.

Requirements

A working installation of TNG.

A copy of living_color with suitable version for your TNG installation. See download area at top of page for selecting the right version for your website.
